NURSERY
Our new topic this week will be based around the story of "After the Storm" by Nick Butterworth.
We will be talking to the children about the weather, how it changes, what clothes we need to wear to protect us.
We shall explore changes to the seasons, what you could expect to see during Autumn and Winter.
The impact on winter with animals, e.g. squirrels, hedgehogs, birds, how do they keep warm and feed during winter.
We have seen a rise in parents sharing observations and photos on tapestry, please keep them coming the children like to share this in class.
